Inverted wingers have become the norm in modern soccer.

Instead of having a traditional winger play on the side of their strong foot to run the sideline and play crosses in, teams are using players on the opposite side so they can cut inside.

Arjen Robben on the right flank to cut in on his left foot is one of the more prominent examples. Shooting is their primary intention but they also open up their body that allows them to play a sideways pass to attack.

With defensive teams like Atletco Madrid using a deep defensive block, it is tough to pass through them.

Manchester City used Jesus Navas in a traditional role this week against Real Madrid and was ineffective.
